Wheal Martha or New Great Consols, Luckett One of the engine houses on this mine, taken in 1977. This was the 28 inch crusher. The mine was noted for its complicated ores, making separation difficult. These included copper, arsenic, silver, wolfram, tin and pyrite. For many years the main pumping engine remained in its house, rusting away. These days the excessive ivy growth has more or less completely enveloped this house.
